An experience of the Grande Epoque!

I have stayed at this hotel (which is also now a Casino) many times and each time I feel as though I should be wearing a long dress and floating down the beautiful staircase, which is unfortunately no longer on show. The hotel stood empty for many years until it was modernised. However, although the rooms are very comfortable and modern the main entrance and lounge have been kept, as far as possible, in the Victorian era and the original façade on the upper floors can still be viewed looking not unlike a scene from a wild west film with the lovely ballustrade circling round leading up to the glass roof. When the hotel was modernised they could no longer use this corridor and room entrances because the ballustrade did not confirm to 'French norms' in height. As a result when you take the lift to the upper floors you are faced with a blank wall, the otherside of which remain the original bedroom doors and nothing more - very cleverly done.
We had dinner and enjoyed a very pleasant evening, taking a digestif in the armchairs, that seem to lean back forever!
We only took a basic room as all we needed was somewhere to sleep, and perhaps eat, but being regulars we were given a reduction. The second full weekend in September is always the Fête du Sel (Salt Festival) and well worth a visit if you want...I have stayed at this hotel (which is also now a Casino) many times and each time I feel as though I should be wearing a long dress and floating down the beautiful staircase, which is unfortunately no longer on show.

Take advantage of the Thermal Baths (Spa) which is a stones throw from the hotel.More

delightful looking village where people go for water cures at the beautiful water cure building next door to hotel.we were given a very small room in the heritage listed biding. the renovation of the room was very adequate and the room looked good but we discovered that the heavy curtains, which are adequate to blind the huge spot light that lights the building at night right outside out window, did not have a thin layer of curtain as well so we could not have any privacy in our room during the day if we wanted to, and any one outside could look into our room as it was on the first floor of the building only.we could hear the TVs in the adjoining rooms for the best part of the evening and at night and also in the morning.we woke up to the sound of heavy gardening equipment outside in the garden.....also there was an odd light that keep our room lit up during the night, almost like a night light, that we could not turn off, at the level of our curtain rail.... we could not find its provenance...very odd.so what should have been a good night sleep in one of the quietest French village around turned out to be anything but

Room Tip: a room in the top floor.

We stayed here one night on a stopover on our way home from Madrid. The town was having a festival and it was very lively, so that helped. The room was huge, with a king size bed and a bed settee for our two boys. The breakfast was great, a real selection of foods and drinks that had everyone satisfied. Comfortable, clean and the staff, particularly Donna, were very helpful. There was a Casino on sight, but it wasn't really our thing ... we were also a little young for it ... by about 30 years!! All in all, a nice hotel, right next to the Spa if you wished to take the waters.

Room Tip: Ask for a corner room, I believe they are bigger

We stayed four nights with a Groupon. We had a superior room (number 305), very bright, it was a huge room with a view on the Thermal Spas and the music kiosk. Large bathroom too. The bedroom was very quiet and the bed was a king size with a good mattress.

The TV was small and far from the bed, attached to the opposite wall, you need good eyes or wear glasses. You can manage yourself the heating or air conditioning which was appreciated as we didn't have good weather.

The hotel itself is magnificent, dated 1891. Staff is efficient and friendly although not very smiley at the restaurant.

The restaurant was good, fast service, maybe too fast for our tastes. Prices are very reasonable even the wine. You can also dine on Sundays evenings. Correct continental breakfast in the morning from 7 to 10 am during the week and 8 to 10 h 30 am the week end. It was good to be able to stay in bed late and not to have to get early for the breakfast. Bar lounge is agreeable although prices are expensive for the quantity you get.

Room Tip: at the third floor number 312 and 314 are next to the elevator.

The hotel room was really bright with lots of fresh air, we had a corner room with lots of french doors, very nice. The beds were comfy and it was nice and quiet Dinner at the hotel was mediocre as was breakfast. There arent a lot of options, it seems, in this city.

Room Tip: the corner room was spacious and airy because of all the french doors

we recently stayed at this hotel whilst on a business trip. we had one days work and then three days to enjoy ourselves. The room was lovely, we had a lovely sitting area with a wardrobe, settee table and chair and a huge king size bed and sliding doors to a bathroom that had a full bath with power shower over, twin basin and loo and all fully tiled in lovely modern beige tones. we had two sets of balcony doors that went the length of our room with lovely views of the town, mountains and small park opposite. it was a lovely town, very old, but very picturesque with nice restaurants and very friendly people. The hotel breakfast was just continental, but there were hams cheeses and pastries and a bowl of fruit and some yoghurts, enough to keep you going. the restaurant meal in the evening was superb if a little slow. we hada wonderful few days there and would definately go back.
